The Five Ten Anasazi Lace is a high-performance yet comfortable edging and smearing shoe designed for crack climbing, trad climbing, and long multipitch routes - anything vertical that requires support and stiffness. Show more >

The Five Ten Anasazi Lace is a powerfully packaged pretty-in-pink paradigm of peak performance pinkness... okay, let's stop that there. What we mean to say is that the all-day comfort and high-performance edging and smearing climbing shoe the Five Ten Anasazi Lace is finally back in production, and this time with a lower volume heel for a better fit and the ultra-sticky Stealth C4 rubber compound. Whether you need comfort and support on long multipitch routes or precision and power on trad, sport, and crack climbs, the Anasazi Lace's stiff design with a focus on edging and smearing will keep you coming back for more - if you can ever distract yourself from the heavenly pink, that is.

Five Ten have constructed the Five Ten Anasazi Lace with a lined synthetic upper, so expect there to be the absolute minimum of stretch in the shoe. With minimal stretch, you can be assured of a reliable and constant fit even after years of heavily abusing your climbing shoe.

Stealth® C4™ Rubber

A high-friction rubber used on the majority of Five Ten’s shoes due of its all-round performance and versatility. Five Ten first debuted this rubber on the original approach shoe, the Five Tennie, in 1985, and since then Stealth rubber has always been developed by Five Ten themselves in direct conjunction with their shoes, unlike other shoe manufacturers who outsource their rubber. The result is a rubber that works with your shoe harmoniously.

An excellent shoe for pretty much every type of climbing. I use it for sport climbing as well as hard multi-pitches. The only downside is that the shoe digs into your achilles tendon if you wear it really long, because of the heel tension. And then there's the smell, but I guess that's caused mostly by my sweaty feet.

Big Love

Order these in your actually street shoe size do not risk downsizing. I always downsize but did on my first order and they were far too small and that was just a half size. Ordered Street size (not with EpicTV as unfortuantly they didn't have them in my size but a no hassel refund was given) and they are pefect. Now a complete five ten convert. Love the rubber. It's helping my footwork and shady smearing as they stick like poo to a stick. Not had them long so can't say how hard wearing they are but so far so good highly recommend. Just bought a pair of Blackwings so I have an agressive pair of Five tens as these are not the best for steep climbs. They were a whole size up from my anasazi if that helps with sizings.

Awesome!

First of all when ordering these I went for a half size smaller than my usual 7. When they arrived they were too tight and I could feel hotspots straight away! A short chat with one of Epictv's team and I had a new set on the way to me! Got the new 7s and they fit a dream, the midsole support is brilliant, grip is brilliant and super comfy... These are my new favourite shoes! And once again EpictTv had the best deal and as usual great service!

BIG UP!!!

I’m a beginner, and I only tried La Sportiva Tarantula before… other world, amazing shoes!!! Very good midsole support and good edging, I love the grip of Stealth C4, especially for granite… it fit perfect on my foot, this shoes has changed my approach to climbing, now I can feel me more secure and confident.Just a question, it’s a man’s shoe… why they made it in pink???

Great for edging, but not much else

I bought these about 3 months ago and I was kind of dissapointed at first, now I've come to accept them for what they are, but I'm still not super satisfied. I don't understand what's the hype about them. My problem with this climbing shoes is that they are to rounded at the front, so you can't step into small pockets and dimples in the limestone, where I predominantely climb (like you can with lets say La Sportiva Solution). And it's not about the lack of downturn on them, because I saw that 5.10 Hiangle have the same round tip. Also, I don't find the C4 rubber as sticky as everyone says. However, these shoes are very stif and great for edging. You really can stand on a dime with them. They are mostly suitable for vertical terrain, but do not excell in the overhangs. The heel is not great for heel-hooking, beacause it's not completelly in rubber. That said, they are very comfortable, due to their flatness.

I wear street shoes size 43 EUR and bougth "the Pinks" in 42,5 EUR. They have stretch a little, so maybe I should have bought them in 42 EUR.

Great shoe, terrible laces

So I have these shoes for about a month now, and I must say; I'm impressed with the quality of both the shoe and rubber. The laces provide a good and snug fit and although the colour might 'scare' some men away, I actually like it. The only downside I could name so far, is that I have noticed that the laces don't hold up as well as I hoped.

proven technology

Shoe you always can rely on. Whether it is on a slap, vertical wall with small edges, little pockets or overhang, no stress you won't slip. Good midsole support, top of your shoe is not turning on small edges, and a new fitting heel. Depending on the witdh of your feet, the lace up might fit better than the anasazi velcro. & fast delivery!

Great shoe for cracks and smears

Bought this shoe for crack climbing and it's good reputation as a good edging shoe. Bought these in a UK 8,5 (EUR 42,5), the fit was just a little too tight (just a tad tighter than my Lasportiva Miura VS in 42). Excanged them for a UK 9 (EUR 43) and they became snug fitting, but not quite as snug as I would like them. In my opinion, the Miura VS outperforms the Anazasi Lace on small edges, but excel on cracks (where Miura VS are crap) and smears. They are a stiffer shoe with great, softish 5.10 rubber.

Not as bright as it looks

The colour is not as bright pink as it appears online, which can be a good thing or a bad ;p for me it's bad because I want pink shoes.I'm a new climber, but want some cool and good quality shoes to help my climbing technique improve quickly. These are great shoes, the laces allow the fit to get very snug with maximum contact around my foot. However they have been fairly slippy, so I guess I'm waiting for the rubber to break-in.They came really fast in the post, special delivery from France to London, within just a few days. They were also much cheaper than Cotswolds, with discount codes I bought them for £75.

A Modern Classic

I knew of "The Pinks" for ages but it was only now that I've gotten round to trying a pair. Being mainly a boulderer I find the more technical fit of Scarpas suit my feet when it comes to cramming my toes in tight. It was only until I was introduced to the idea of long multi-pitch trad climbs that suddenly I wanted something more relaxed; enter the Anasazi lace.

View so far? Nice, I have large volume feet and have fitted them snug but not tight (uk7.5 for a uk8 in street shoes). They are a little clunky at first compared to my super sensitive slippers but soon ease in and the rubber has plenty of friction for delicate slabby escapades. I have none of the typical heel issues oft reported by Anasazi users and generally find the fit excellent for long term comfort.

I'm totally pleased with my choice and the only thing holding me back from five stars is not being able to report on long term durability yet.

Great allrounder

A brilliant, stiff edging shoe that also excels on smears due to the super sticky c4 rubber.These shoes work well in most climbing situations from bouldering to trad multi pitches. The laces go a long way down the shoe which gives great adjustment so you can loosen them on longer pitches or crank them in on short hard pitches.The new heel is a better fit than the old model but I did prefer it when the heel had full rubber coverage to grip at any angle.They fit well (for me) one full size down from casual shoes, or one and a half for climbs at my limit!All in all, a well made, good fit and excellent allround climbing shoe!

sticky rubber

The rubber is sticky enough for me to do some hard slab climbs I never thought i could do.

Very Good!

The Anasazi pink has become my favourite climbing shoe choice. I have fairly wide feet and these are very comfortable. I had a pair a i/d size smaller than my normal size and they were great. I'm now trying a pair a full size smaller and they are just right, tight enough but in no way painful. Really good stiffness on edges and very good grip on smears. Lots of goods there!

Good Shoe

First things first, although these look like leather they are synthetic. This means they won’t have much stretch in them. I thought they were leather and bought one size down which was incredibly tight but has loosened a little (or shrunk my feet?) after wearing them for a bit. This is probably good as the fit will last but be aware when choosing a size!Performance wise they seem very very nice. The rock solid sole makes for awesome edging and the rubber is nice and sticky, just like it says on the tin! The quality seems good as well, they feel like they will last.
